100 Views of Mt Baker Series

Welcome to a selected sample of available works from past Mount Baker series exhibitions. If you are interested in viewing more of my 100 Views of Mt Baker Series, please see the Exhibitions section.

During high school, I stumbled on a book about the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Inspired by his independent attitude, his enthusiasm for art, and his amazing drawings, I made him my artist-hero. In 1991, I moved to Vancouver. Mount Baker became a recurring sight – sometimes a faint shadow on the horizon, at others a snow enveloped mass looming above the highway – occasionally startling, beautiful always, different from each viewpoint, and in each different light.

Familiar with Hokusai’s woodblock series, Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, I had admired Mount Baker for years from my home studio balcony. Only in 2016 did ‘the penny drop’. I then began my series Views of Mount Baker – an homage to my Japanese mentor.
